Hypermedia/Time-based Document Structuring Language (Hytime)
Standardized SGML document type definitions for books, articles with tables, formulaes, etc.
Representation of dates and times.
"This standard defines a lot of details of the calendar. E.g. the ISO definition of the week numbers is that the first day (day number 1) of a week is Monday and that the first week in a year (week number 1) is the week that includes the first Thursday in January, i.e. the first week that has at least four days in January. Other definitions are, e.g., that hours of a day are counted from 0 to 24 and that the international notation of dates is the Bigendian format year-month-day, e.g. 1993-04-17 and that for time is e.g. 20:36:04 (hh:mm:ss). There are also string formats for computer applications specified that have to represent date and time in files and protocol packets. (See

for a very
detailed
summary.)"
Codes for the representation of currencies and funds
Notation for international telephone numbers (a '+' followed by the country code, followed by a space, ...).
Code for the representation of names of languages
Provides two-letter codes for about 140 languages and is intended primarily for use in terminology, lexicography and linguistics.

Code for the representation of names of languages--Alpha-3 code
Three-letter codes for the representation of names of languages for information interchange", developed by a Joint Working Group of ISO TC37/SC2 and TC46/SC2. Covers a wider range of the world's languages than ISO 639.

Codes for the representation of names of countries
This standard defines a 2-letter, a 3-letter and a numeric code for each country on this planet. E.g. US/USA/840=United States, DE/DEU/276=Germany, GB/GBR/826=United Kingdom, FR/FRA/250=France, ...). The 2-letter codes are well known in the Internet as top-level domain names. The 3-letter versions are often used at international sports events.
